For others the Cotswold Olympics are a fun way of trying the more unusual activities and more interesting traditions such as the World Championships in Shin Kicking. Finishing off the day with a drink at the pub is an excellent way of relaxing and reflecting on an active day out in this beautiful corner of England.
